Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and also writes books, has an impressive ability to read clues from victims' bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her to assist with investigations when remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that standard identification methods are useless. Brennan is teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper, who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes but who has developed respect for Brennan, both professionally and personally.

Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger As a murder mystery series, "Bones" is average at best. As a light comedy, though, it's one of the more dependable entertainments in primetime. Sep 3, 2008 Full Review Todd R. Ramlow PopMatters The change for Bones is temporary, but even so, it occasions unnecessary jingoism and trite fish-out-of-water jokes Rated: 4/10 Sep 3, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
